Current and former Parti Québécois leaders want the Liberal government to make sweeping changes to the Plan Nord.

Former Quebec Premier Jacques Parizeau and Parti Québécois leader Pauline Marois said the province's plan to develop mining in the north gives too much to corporations and not enough to Quebec taxpayers.

The criticisms come a day after a northern Innu Chief said he was launching an international campaign denouncing the Plan Nord.

The plan, announced in May, promises energy development, mining, infrastructure, tourism and conservation in a sweeping set of projects that, according to the government, would receive $80 billion in public and private investment over the next 25 years.
